The Baseball Writers Association of American announced Tuesday that Felix Hernandez, Corey Kluber and Chris Sale are finalists for the American League Cy Young award.

Sale was fantastic with a 2.17 ERA and 208 strikeouts, but his 174 innings likely mean he'll finish third in this group. Kluber had a breakout season with a 2.44 ERA and 269/51 K/BB ratio over 235 2/3 frames, but he seems likely to finish runner-up to King Felix, who held a 2.14 ERA and 248/46 K/BB ratio across 236 innings. The winner will be announced next Wednesday. Tue, Nov 4, 2014 06:32:00 PM

Felix Hernandez earned his 15th win and also secured the American League ERA title Sunday, allowing one hit over 5 1/3 innings in the Mariners' 4-1 victory over the Angels.

Felix gave up a single to Albert Pujols in the first inning, and he went the next 4 2/3 innings without a blemish. Once he got his ERA below Chris Sale's 2.17 mark in the sixth inning, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon pulled him to ensure Hernandez would earn the distinction. King Felix finishes 15-6 with a 2.14 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 248/46 K/BB ratio over 236 innings this year. He may also take home an AL Cy Young award for his strong work this year.

Felix Hernandez was walloped by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, putting together one of the worst starts of his career, allowing eight runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Only once in 301 career starts entering Tuesday had Hernandez failed to make it through the fifth while allowing at least eight runs. He just didn't have anything working, as he even issued a bases-loaded walk, something he had done just three times in his career previously. Overall, Hernandez allowed seven hits, walked three, and struck out five. The American League Cy Young race has tightened up a bit, as Hernandez now owns a 14-6 record with a 2.34 ERA, a 0.94 WHIP, and a 241/46 K/BB ratio. He'll get a chance at redemption in his final start of the season against the Angels at home on Sunday. Tue, Sep 23, 2014 09:51:00 PM

Felix Hernandez fired seven shutout innings, striking out 11, in a no-decision against the Angels on Thursday.

He scattered three hits and walked two. The Mariners ultimately won 3-1, but we're not going to call this a "tough-luck" no-decision, because King Felix didn't exactly face a murderer's row. The Angels trotted out the following Little League World Series lineup after clinching the division last night: 1. Tony Campana CF, 2. Gordon Beckham SS, 3. Brennan Boesch RF, 4. C.J. Cron DH, 5. Efren Navarro 1B, 6. Grant Green 2B, 7. Hank Conger C, 8. Luis Jimenez 3B, 9. Shawn O'Malley LF. Hernandez is 1-0 with a 0.96 ERA across his last four outings. The soon-to-be Cy Young gets the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Fri, Sep 19, 2014 01:25:00 AM
